'historically-segmented' originates from the combination of 'historically' and 'segmented'. 'Historically' comes from 'history', which originates from Greek 'historia', meaning 'inquiry' or 'knowledge acquired by investigation'. 'Segmented' comes from Latin 'segmentum', meaning 'a piece cut off'.

'Historically' evolved from the Old French 'historie', and 'segmented' from the Latin 'segmentum'. The combination of these words formed the modern English term 'historically-segmented'.

Initially, 'historically' meant 'pertaining to history', and 'segmented' meant 'divided into parts'. Together, they evolved to mean 'divided based on historical context'.
